BiodegradationBiodegradationBiodegradation is the disintegration of materials by bacteria, fungi,
or other biological means.[a]
The term is often used in relation to: biomedicine, waste management,
ecology, and the bioremediation of the natural environment. It is now
commonly associated with environmentally-friendly products, capable of
decomposing back into natural elements.
Although often conflated, biodegradable is distinct in meaning from:
compostable. While biodegradable simply means can be consumed by
microorganisms, compostable makes the further specific demand that the
object break down under composting conditions.
Organic material can be degraded aerobically (with oxygen) or
anaerobically (without oxygen).
DecompositionDecomposition of biodegradable
substances may include both biological and abiotic steps.
Biodegradable matter is generally organic material that provides a
nutrient for microorganisms

Garden Waste Dumping
Garden waste, or green waste dumping is the act of discarding or
depositing garden waste somewhere it does not belong.
Garden waste is the accumulated plant matter from gardening activities
which involve cutting or removing vegetation, i.e. cutting the lawn,
weed removal, hedge trimming or pruning consisting of lawn clippings.
leaf matter, wood and soil.[1]
The composition and volume of garden waste can vary from season to
season and location to location. A study in Aahrus, Denmark, found
that on average, garden waste generation per person ranged between
122 kg to 155 kg per year.[2]
Garden waste may be used to create compost or mulch, which can be used
as a soil conditioner, adding valuable nutrients and building humus.
The creation of compost requires a balance between, nitrogen, carbon,
moisture and oxygen

Radioactive WasteRadioactive wasteRadioactive waste is waste that contains radioactive material.
Radioactive wasteRadioactive waste is usually a by-product of nuclear power generation
and other applications of nuclear fission or nuclear technology, such
as research and medicine.
Radioactive wasteRadioactive waste is hazardous to all forms
of life and the environment, and is regulated by government agencies
in order to protect human health and the environment.
Radioactivity naturally decays over time, so radioactive waste has to
be isolated and confined in appropriate disposal facilities for a
sufficient period until it no longer poses a threat. The time
radioactive waste must be stored for depends on the type of waste and
radioactive isotopes

Post-consumer WastePost-consumer wastePost-consumer waste is a waste type produced by the end consumer of a
material stream; that is, where the waste-producing use did not
involve the production of another product.
The terms of pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled materials are
defined in the ISO standard number 14021 (1999). These definitions are
the most widely recognized and verified definitions as used by
manufacturers and procurement officers worldwide.
Quite commonly, it is simply the garbage that individuals routinely
discard, either in a waste receptacle or a dump, or by littering,
incinerating, pouring down the drain, or washing into the gutter.
Post-consumer wastePost-consumer waste is distinguished from pre-consumer waste, which is
the reintroduction of manufacturing scrap (such as trimmings from
paper production, defective aluminum cans, etc.) back into the
manufacturing process
